In marshy conditions Echinodorus palaefolius var. latifolius
has round leaves with a horizontal leaf base (see ill.). Under water the leaves
are narrower and longer. In the aquarium it tends to grow out of the water.
This can be prevented by removing the long leaves just before they reach the
water surface. The next leaves will then become shorter and the plant will
remain under water. In open aquariums the plant can be allowed to grow out of
the water, but the leaf margins often dry out if air humidity is low.
